A 40-minute session about #thegoasaga books, #thewritecreed podcast and human rights turned into a 1.5 hour talk at Faculty of Journalism and Communication (#fjc) at #msuniversity weaving in personal stories, human interest stories and fiction on the occasion of Human Rights Day. Answered questions in English to journalists from Gujarati and Hindi media because I realised that's the language I am most comfortable with while talking about my talk. Discussions about writing, ideas, chapterization and podcasting with my former students and faculty members followed for another hour. Exchanged notes with a teacher who has just published a book of short stories in Gujarati about partner-publishing and self-publishing. 3.5 hours, one cup of coffee, a sip of water and lots of catching up. Tiring, yes, but if you have a passion for writing and telling stories, this is what makes it worth your time.
